Have you heard of the brookie?
A brownie layer, a cookie layer all rolled into one cookie?
There are a couples variations of it, I wanted to try my own spin on it.
After having found the best chocolate chip cookie ever--the jacques torres cookies; I wanted to use those as a base and then the top layer I figure why not try jacques torres famous brownie recipe.
The brookie does the brownie on the bottom and the cookie on the top and molds them into cookies.
I didn't have those molds so I used a pan.
I put the cookie on the bottom because it can hold the heat better and the brownies on top since they are a bit more delicate.
If you like fudgy brownies then this recipe is for you.
This is a really good brownie recipe all on its own, fudgy middle and crisp top--perfect combo!
Fairly easy to make. Just make the cookie base and refrigerate (as per instructions) for a couple days.
When ready to bake, just make the brownie batter.
A few thoughts: I did not add nuts to the brownie batter, and after tasting it, it really did need that "texture". And of course feel free to use your own brownie recipe too. Just make sure you have enough batter for a 9x13 pan--this is what the cookie dough batter needs. Also, there was a bit of extra brownie batter left over; I used a mini loaf pan and baked off the rest.

Cook notes:In the
brownie recipe, there is no place where it says to add in the flour mixture to
the mixer, so I added it in below. Very strange.But I think I nailed it.

For the brookies:

mix up the chocolate chip cookie recipe (below), cover, and
chill in fridge for a day or a couple days.

Layer down the cookie dough batter, making sure to get in
all the corners.

Then place the brownie batter on top, smooth it out.

Bake for about 45-55 minutes.

The brownies are fudgy-like so it will be a little loose
still after about 45 minutes of baking.How to know they are done when the jiggle in the middle of the batter
should be gone.Please check at the 45-minute
mark.

These need to cool completely before slicing.To help them set up, I placed in the fridge
for about an hour.
